Abbie Hallawell’s life was about to change forever. Her 17-year-old daughter Teegan Barnard was pregnant. Sadly, what was supposed to be the best day in this family’s life turned into a tragedy when the young mom suffered cardiac arrest. Doctors did all in their power to save her, but she passed away few weeks after she gave birth to her baby boy, Parker John.
Shortly before passing, Teegan was pronounced brain dead, but before that, she got to hold her little one in her arms. Abbie made sure she took as many photos of her daughter and her grandson as possible so that he could have a memory from his mommy who left this world way too soon.

Abbie says her daughter would have been the best mom in the world. As sweet Parker is growing bigger and bigger, she and her son-in-law make sure they mention Teegan as often as possible. Although he’s way too young to understand his mom is no longer there, they want to make sure he knows just how much she loved him.
Parker is often dressed in clothes on which the photos of him and his mom are printed so that he could keep her close to his heart.
On one of the photos, Parker is seen smiling at his mother, and we are sure it would be a memory he would cherish forever.

We are very sad for this family’s loss. Rest in peace, Teegan.

Bullying occurs way more often than any of us can ever imagine. The sad truth is that is most often takes place at schools, the places where children should feel safe and secure.
A boy named Jonathan had fallen victim of bullying and it lasted for a very long time. One day, he was severely beaten. Having autism, it seems it’s hard for the students at his school to accept him as their friend. Instead, they make fun of him and call him names.
One day while on the bus, a kid got near him and started calling him fat and stupid.
Jonathan put on headphones so he wouldn’t have to listen to the bully and went about his day. But on the bus ride home, things got much worse.

Another student beat up Jonathan. He crushed his glasses, broke his lip, and left bruises on his face.
Jonathan’s autism makes it difficult to have self-control. But on that day, he made lots of people proud. He didn’t fight back.

At the time of the incident, a group of firefightes from the local station approached Jonathan, called him mom, and drove him home.
During the ride, Jonathan felt so comfortable that he told the firefighters about his condition and told them what he wants to do when he grows up.
The firefighters dropped him off at home and drove away. But what Jonathan didn’t know was that it wouldn’t be the last time he’d meet his heroes.

That same evening, some people showed up in Jonathan’s front yard and had a huge surprise for the young man.
When he realized they were the firefighters who helped him earlier that they, he was over the moon. They had some new shoes for him.
“That’s all for you for being such a great kid, for keeping your cool, for not losing it, and for being the better person,” the firefighters told Jonathan.

Jonathan himself had a message for his bully:
“I would like to tell that student that I forgive him, and would like to be his friend. My mom and I talked yesterday, and would like to invite the student who did this to dinner with us, so that he can see that we are not different, just because we look different.”
Jonathan is an inspiration for all – and we can learn a lot from his kind heart. The firefighters’ gesture to him was so nice, and I think Jonathan will go far in life.
In this video, Jonathan explains what happened – and we get to meet some of the heroic firefighters who helped him, too.
Jonathan is a real hero! Please share this article to let the world know what a good-hearted boy he is – and to thank the firefighters for their beautiful gesture.
Nowadays, people get easily offended by things we somehow considered normal back in the day. Sometimes, these feelings are totally justified, while other times, they seem like nothing but exageration.
It is up to you to decided whether the young woman from the following story was right about getting mad with Target for selling what she considered a very offensive sweater.
Namely, Reign Murphy is a regular customer at the store, so one day, she decided to go shopping. Among the plenty of stuff offered there, her attention was attracted by a red sweater. However, once she picked it in her hand, she was shocked by what was written on it. The sweater said: “OCD Obsessive Cristmas Disorder.” Having been suffering from this psychological disorder around 2.2 million Americans suffer from, she was deeply offended. Reign believed the store shouldn’t have mocked with something like that.

She then snapped a photo of the sweater and shared it on Twitter. The number of shares and comments surprised her. Many people shared her opinion and believed the writing on the piece of clothing was ofending in deed. Of course, there were aslo those thought the message was neither disrespectful nor hurtful, despite dealing with the condition themselves.
Target spokesperson, Jessica Carlson, apologized to those offended by the product but said they won’t stop selling it.

Previously, another woman claimed some of the designes sold at Target were insulting, such as the shirts with signatures such as “bride,””trophy,” and “Mrs.”
According to her, these designes led to the belief that a woman could be bought or sold.

People being all alone at old age is something that is way too common. Their children create their own families and move away, and many elderly are left by themselves with no one by their side.
Wanda is a 90-year-old lady from San Francisco, California, who was longing for some company for so long. Finally, she decided to do something about it, gathered the courage, and left a heartfelt note on one of her neighbor’s front door.
When Marleen Brooks saw the handwritten note, it made her ” heart sad,” but at the same time she was happy she would make a new friend.
The note said: Would you consider to become my friend. I’m 90 years old- live alone. All my friends have passed away. I’m so lonesome and scared. Please I pray for someone.”
Source: Facebook / Marleen Brooks
Marleen paid Wanda a visit that same day. She introduced herself, brought some cupcakes, and spent some quality time with her elderly neighbor.
The visit was a great one, and Marleen decided to share the story behind this new friendship with Frank Somerville of KTVU News because she knew there are other people like Wanda out there who were feeling lonely and were in need of company. She believed it would make others reach to their elderly neighbors and be there for them.
“Frank! She’s such a sweet lady! And she was over the moon when we came over. Wanda said: ‘I hope you didn’t think I was stupid for writing you, but I had to do something. Thank you so much for coming over. I’ve lived here for 50 years and don’t know any of my neighbors.’ Wanda has 3 sons, one died last year of cancer. The other two live far away. She’s 90 and and is on oxygen and has congestive heart failure, osteoporosis, among other ailments. We brought her cupcakes (didn’t have enough time with work to make the banana bread). I also made sure she knew she can call us at anytime and that I’ll be back to spend time with her! I’m sure Wanda and I will have some great times.”
The story touched the hearts of thousands of people. “I love this story,” Frank wrote in response. “And I’m so happy for Wanda. But as I said in my first post, there are so many others out there who are lonely just like Wanda. I would ask that maybe you consider knocking on their door and saying hi. I know it would mean the world to them. And who knows, maybe you’ll make a new friend.”
I believe we should all act the way Marleen did and be there for one another.
Tom Selleck is one of those people who aren’t just extraordinary at their job, but have hearts of gold and spread kindness whenever possible. Described as humble and with high moral values, Selleck is definitely one of our favorite celebrities.
Knowing just how powerful of an impact celebs can have on ordinary people, witnessing them doing good inspires thousands to follow their example. Yes, these people can definitely help make this world a much better place.
With the start of the pandemic, many were left in total confusion because no one really knew how drastically things would change. In order to prevent the virus from spreading, a number of measures were imposed, including social distancing. As a result, a number of businesses were forced to close and thousands of people lost their job. Things were, and still are, very hard.

In order to keep restaurants move forwards, some celebs, including Donnie Wahlberg, started the “Tip Challenge.” They influenced other famous people to leave $2,020 tip to servers and restaurant employees.
While dining at one of his favorite places in Massachusetts, Donnie left $2,020 tip on a $35.27 bill. Of course, he didn’t brag about it. People only learned of his generous act after the restaurant shared the story.
One person who was inspired to do the same was Tom Selleck.
It was reported that the Magnum P.I star left a generous tip of $2,020 for a server after a meal at a restaurant in New York at the end of 2020.

Donnie, who stars alongside Tom in Blue Bloods, wrote on Twitter, “I found out that my TV Dad Tom Selleck has generously accepted the #2020TipChallenge at Elios Upper East Side! Love ya dad.”
“Tom never mentioned it to me,” Donnie told People. “We’ve done three [Blue Bloods] dinner scenes since he did it and he never told me.”
Apparently, the message Tom left for the server read, “For Elios, I am honoring my friend Donnie Wahlberg’s ‘tip challenge’ with my sincere hope for a better 2020. Thank you all.”
Since the pandemic, which affected many business and claimed the lives of many people, is still ongoing, we hope celebs would continue this challenge at the end of 2021 as well.
Every proposal is magical all by itself because it becomes a memory one cherishes until the rest of their life. The following proposal, however, is likely the most special one we’ve ever witnessed because it doesn’t involve two lovebirds, but a stepdad and a stepdaughter.
When Tim Bobbit became part of Annie’s life, her daughter from her previous marriage, Kylee, welcomed him with arms wide open. The two created a bond only a father and a daughter can share, despite not being related by blood. What’s most, Tim is Kylee’s biggest fan and never misses any of her cheerleading and dance competitions.
Source: YouTube
On the day he married Kylee’s mother, Kylee read a letter at the altar, asking Tim to adopt her. He was more than happy to grant her her wish.
It took several months for the legal paperwork to be settled. Eventually, after he was able to finish everything, Tim and Annie decided to surprise Kylee when she least expected it. They staged a photoshoot so Tim could propose to Kylee and ask her to be his daughter.
Source: YouTube
When the right time came, Tim got down on one knee and said: “I absolutely love going to all your cheer and dance comps.
“I love watching you grow into the beautiful young lady you are. I love being the person you come to when you are hurt or scared. I love holding your hand when we walk through the store or when you’re scared to ride the roller coaster.”
Source: YouTube
“But most of all Kylee,” he continued, “I look forward to the day I can walk you down the aisle when you marry because that’s what fathers do. The reason why I can say that is because today, in front of all our family and friends, is the day I get to adopt you.”
Kylee couldn’t contain her tears and hugged her new father.
After the heartwarming moment, Kylee, her mom, and her new dad went to the courthouse to sign the adoption papers.
The video of the sweet “proposal” was later shared on YouTube where it was seen by more than 10 million people.
Many were touched by this family’s beautiful story. One person wrote: “Had to dry my eyes, beautiful story, and she is a very beautiful young lady. Thank you for sharing this story with us. My wife and I are working to adopt a child so this story is very touching and heartwarming.”

The anticipation of holding the bundle of joy who is about to change your days and give a whole new meaning to your life is described as one of the best feelings ever. But what happens if the child comes with certain condition or disease? Do we give up on them, or we do our best to provide them with the best life possible?
The truth is that different people react differently, just like the parents of beautiful Misha who was born with an extra chromosome.
Source: Instagram – evgen_tyz
When his mom and dad learned Misha had Down Syndrome, they were both crushed and devastated. It was mostly because of the fact they were totally unfamiliar with the condition, something his father, Evgeny Anisimov, was more than willing to learn, unlike the baby boy’s mother who gave up on him and wanted to place him in foster care.
Evgeny never thought of leaving his son behind, Down Syndrome or not, Misha was his sweet baby boy and he was more than happy to embark on the adventure called fatherhood together with the little one, although it meant he would do it without his wife by his side.

The good thing is that most European countries, including Russia, where Evgeny and Misha are from, treat people with Down Syndrome as completely normal individuals.
They are involved in every aspect of the society, attend regular schools, and are taught how to live independently. It was something that encouraged Evgeny even further not to ever leave his son.
Source: Instagram – evgen_tyz
“I remember that upon learning that my son has Down Syndrome, I left the hospital and cried, but not for long. Later, I was a little embarrassed by these tears. In my life, after all, nothing had changed, in general. I was still with two arms, with two legs, my professional knowledge had gone nowhere.
“My determination, activity, curiosity, and so on—everything was with me. Everything happened as I planned, my son was born. But the child is special, his life and future destiny are already very significant. And I’m roaring here!” the proud dad told Bored Panda.
Source: Instagram – evgen_tyz
Baby Misha is still very young to know what is happening around him, but his father is making sure more and more people become aware of how special people with Down Syndrome are.
With such devoted and incredibly loving father, we are sure Misha will have a perfect childhood and an awesome life. And, yes, we are sure the boy’s mom will regret her decision to be missing being part of Misha’s life.

A woman from Cook County, Illinois, named Danielle Cruz was planning to sell her family’s house located in the neighborhood of Chatham. Her husband renovated the place entirely and they arranged for a handyman to do some tiny repairs. One day, however, the handyman called Danielle and told her that the house wasn’t vacant, someone was living there.
At first, they thought he was joking, but they soon learned that a woman moved into their home with all her belongings. They called the police and went to the house they were planning to sell in order to have the woman removed from their property. But then, another shock followed. The officers said they could do nothing about the squatter because she claimed she had signed a month-to-month lease with the owner, which of course wasn’t true.

“They said unfortunately they couldn’t prove she was trespassing. We have to go to court and follow the eviction process,” devastated Danielle said.
Although Danielle denied ever meeting the woman who occupied her home, police said the woman had a lease document, making the case a civil matter that could only be settled in eviction court.
The problem is that such cases are being handled between six, twelve, and even eighteen months, a period during which Danielle and her husband are helpless to do anything.
“I definitely do feel violated. I own this house, and it feels like if anyone can just break into your house and kind of take over, that’s a scary feeling,” Danielle said.

She even said she tried getting in touch with the squatter so that they could find a solution, but the woman refused.
“You know, we’re trying to live the American dream. They say own property, you know, we are trying to provide for our family. And then this happens, and it almost makes you never want to own anything. It’s not worth it.”

Danielle’s neighbors stood by her side and they hope her problems would come to an end any time soon. One of the neighbors said: “Well, it’s disgusting. It’s stealing, and it’s not right.” Another neighbor, Quintara Smith, added, “No one wants to come back, and someone is living in a property. It’s frightening. I mean, that can happen to anybody.”
Chicago real estate attorney Mo Dadkhah revealed that such cases are not uncommon in Cook County.

Daisy and Kris were still very young when their mother left them for good. Being 9 and 5, the children couldn’t possibly understand why their mother wasn’t by their side any longer. As days passed by and they didn’t hear from her, the siblings got even more devastated by the though that their mom didn’t care enough to give them an explanation.
Their dad, Jim, was there for them and provided comfort.
All of a sudden, from being a careless girl, 9-year-old Daisy became like a mother to her little brother. Instead of playing with her friends, she made sure Kris was fed. She put him to sleep and cared for him together with her dad.

Not able to fill the void their mother’s absence left in their hearts, Jim asked Oprah Winfrey to help him with his children’s feeling.
Once on the show, a therapists worked with Daisy and Kris and asked from them to put their emotions on a piece of paper.
“Dear Mom, I miss you so much… I miss baking cookies as a family and you helping us do our homework. I still love you, Mom, but what you did in the past makes me not love you so much like I used to,” Daisy, who was 11 at the time the episode aired, wrote.

Her brother Kris wrote: “When I think of you and Daddy not living together, I feel so sad. I do not understand why you got divorced. Sometimes I dream about Dad being sad. About not having you around. I wish that you didn’t get a divorce.”
The children always dressed up for their sessions with the therapist, and Kris even bough a fake ring thinking she would appear one day.

Five years after appearing on Oprah, the production got in touch with Misty, the children’s mother. She was serving time in a nearby jail after failing to pay child support and producing fake financial documents.
When Oprah contacted her, Misty had a different story to tell. She claimed it was her ex-husband Jim who prevented her from seeing her kids. However, Daisy and Kris didn’t think that was the case.
As Kris didn’t want to meet Misty because he said it would be overwhelming for him, Daisy did agree to see her. Asked why she wanted to meet her mother after so much time and whether she was mad at her, the girl said: “I need to know why she did what she did and to get the apology because I deserve it.”

However, Daisy, who was 16 at the time, added that a single apology wouldn’t be enough. It would be a long road before she could forgive her mom for abandoning her. “I’m the only girl in this house. How am I supposed to live like this?”
Meeting her mom wasn’t easy because it reminded Daisy of all those years she spent without her. She recalled how embarrassing it felt when Jim had to teach her how to do the “girl stuff.” Daisy said to her mom: “All my memories of you are terrible!” The girl added that she was aware her mom cheated on her father.

Misty offered her apology and promised to never leave her children again if given the chance to be part of their lives again.
This story is just a reminder to never fight or say bad words in front of your children. What seems like a simple argument between grownups can affect the children’s feelings in ways that are hard to be fixed later on.

The relationship between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle could be described as picture perfect back in the day when the two could be seen hanging out together during numerous royal occasions, as well as a tennis match.
Magazines reported that Kate was always more than happy to lend a helping hand to Meghan when baby Archie was born. However, what was presented in the media seemed to be far from what was going on behind closed doors.
During the all-tell Oprah interview, among the rest, Meghan spoke about Kate and said that she made her cry on the day of her wedding. In fact, when Oprah asked Meghan if she made Kate cry, she said exactly the opposite happened. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were shocked, to say the least, after they heard those accusations. A US Weekly source said that “Kate would never forgive Meghan for throwing shade at her.”
“The interview was the final nail, it’s over. Meghan burned all of her bridges and Kate has no interest in speaking to her,” the source added.
Another source told Mail Online in April: “First and foremost, William cannot countenance the way Meghan has treated his wife. He feels Kate tried at the beginning, but it was never enough.
“To name Kate so publicly during the Oprah interview as the person who made her cry was beyond the pale. Meghan would have been acutely aware that Kate is powerless to fight back.”
Royal expert Katie Nicholl claimed that she had never heard of the Duchess of Cambridge insulting anyone because she was “very careful about how she treated those around her.”
“Kate never wanted to suggest to the press that she and Meghan were involved in a conflict, so this story is very hard for her,” Katie Nicholl told OK! magazine.
What could have been the final straw that forced Meghan away from the family is a senior royal telling her that she would never be in first division the way Kate has, according to royal author Tom Quinn. Apparently, Meghan wasn’t happy with the fact that Kensington Palace was reserved solely for William and Kate.
When Lilibet Diana was born, Kate sent her best wishes.

An attempted robbery that took place outside of Caesars casino in Atlantic City turned violent and deadly.
When the officers received the call about the robbery, they rushed to the scene. As they realized there was no way out, the suspects fired a shot and severely injured a cop, 29-year-old Jostle Vadell, who was rushed to the hospital and was placed on a ventilator where he fought for his life.
During the shooting, one of the suspects, 25-year-old Jerome Damon, was killed by the cops.
Facebook
The rest of the suspects, Demetrius Cross and Martel Chisolm, were arrested and charged with an attempted robbery and attempted murder. On the day they showed in the courtroom, there was a group of officers who wanted to show their support to the family of their injured brother. They were there to make sure the justice would be served.
The judge stated he was proud that so many officers showed up to give the pair of suspects their daily dose of karma.
“These two are a menace to society. They should never be released back into the community. Senseless,” one commenter wrote on Facebook.
“Great to see that the men and women in blue are showing support for each other,” another added.
Facebook
As for officer Vadell, his family posted an update saying he was recovering at the hospital.
“Update on Josh… he is doing amazing!!! They took him off the ventilator this morning; he is responding with small words, able to sit supported in a chair, and now having some movement on his left side,” his wife wrote. “He is improving every day, and I believe it is from all of the love and support you all bring to our family. Sorry, I can not respond to you all individually, but I see you all care, and I am telling Josh how much he is loved.”

Teachers don’t have it easy. Between grading a bunch of tests and buying a bunch of staff for their classroom, they also need to deal with misbehaving students.
When it comes to students who don’t show any respect for the teachers, things can easily get out of control. In such situations, it is of crucial importance for the teacher to stay calm and try to deal with the matter with a cool head.
Recently, a video showing a student throwing a tantrum emerged online. The student, who was identified as Logan by someone who took their time to comment on the video, started throwing things around the classroom while the teacher and the rest of the students watched in disbelief. The incident took place at a school in the Hempfield School District.
At first, Logan could be seen throwing a chair and then punching a computer monitor to the ground in a fit of rage.
Then, at one point, he moves behind the teacher’s desk looking for more objects to destroy.
Moments later, as it is obvious that Logan won’t calm down, another student, Corby, grabs the violent student in a bear hug from the rear and lifts him up. He then takes him out of the classroom as some of the students laugh and others are still in shock.
We believe that the teacher stood still because if he acted in any manner, he could have done things even worse, or maybe he was afraid for his job and didn’t confront Logan.
“His name is Logan, won’t say his last name for privacy reasons. He goes to Hempfield School District. He was in 10th grade at the filming of this video, pretty sure it was in entrepreneurship class. He was in my gym class in 9th grade, he would constantly cuss out sugar ray, he has anger issues. The kid that stopped him is Corby. Same grade. And he wasn’t punished for this if anyone was wondering,” one person commented.
Others also took their time to comment and wrote things like: “I always wondered, what happens to people after they do stuff like that?”
“When the teacher takes your computer away,” and “When you have to wake up on Mondays.”

If you want to make a name for yourself and turn into a celebrity, then Los Angeles is the place to be. There, even the wildest dreams come true and people become famous for being famous. At least such was the case with the mysterious blonde woman known as Angelyne who appeared on an L.A. billboard and caused a stir. Even today, there are plenty of speculations about who she really is, and no one knows the real truth about this woman.
It was in February 1984 when a billboard of an attractive blonde woman, wearing pink and pouting while staring out across Sunset Boulevard emerged. People kept wondering who she was.
Youtube/Arthur Drawings
Angelyne, whose real name is believed to be Renee Tami Goldberg, shared plenty of different stories about her background. She once revealed that she was from the Midwest, and other times, she claimed she was from Idaho. “I didn’t feel they were competent as parents, and this is where I relate to Marilyn (Monroe),” she said. “She got tossed around as a child too.”
It was in 2017 that Gary Baum of The Hollywood Reported went into details about Angelyne’s life, but no one is certain that what was revealed is the real truth.
Baum wrote that the “Billboard Queen” was born in Poland on October 2, 1950, as the daughter of Polish Jews who escaped the Chmielnik Ghetto during World War II, and emigrated to Israel.
Eventually, her family moved to New York and later to Los Angeles. When Angelyne turned 14, her mother passed away and she and her father settled in Panorama City in the San Fernando Valley where she attended high school.
The magazine provided documents which showed she changed her birth name to Angelyne Llyne, but according to one of her friends, Scott Hening, this wasn’t true.
“This stuff comes up every few years — it seems to get more and more ridiculous,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
“My favorite one of all was this 300-pound black woman who claimed to be her mother. ‘I’m your long-lost brother,’ ‘your twin sister.’ Chalk it up to life in Hollywood. I’ve never heard of ‘Renee Goldberg.’ It’s laughable, it’s outrageous.
“I’m not saying the paperwork [from the name change] isn’t legitimate,” he added. “I’m saying it ain’t her. Look, I get emails from another Scott Hennig, a karate expert in Texas. People think that’s me. There are a lot of girls out there named Angelyne. I don’t know what to tell you. And who knows how legitimate this old stuff is, going back to World War II?”

In a 1995 interview, the “Billboard Queen” said: “People got interested – not in the band, but in me.
“They wanted me. They started interviewing me. That’s how it happened. It’s my thing. I’m the Billboard Queen.”
Earlier in May, she opened up with The Guardian about how the billboard fame affected her life: “It was like BOOM! But to me, being huge is normal. I do well big. I do well at 100ft. Wherever I came from, whatever is core to me, I was born with that.”
She then added: “I’m married to a sheikh. Maybe I am a man. My husband paid for everything. A gay guy died and left me all his money. There is a new Angelyne every two years. I’m a prostitute. I was a mystery.”

Some 11 years after her first billboard appeared in the heart of L.A., Angelyne had more than 200 billboards all over the city.
“It’s so much fun being famous for nothing,” she said in a 1987 interview.
“I had to say nothing then because people wouldn’t understand. I’m not famous for nothing – I’m famous for my essence. I’m sitting on top of a pink cloud, sending inspiration to the world. The difference between me and other famous people is that I’m only attached to Angelyne. I don’t do endorsements. I want my image to be clean – clean, clean for Angelyne.”

Los Angeles Times wrote that this blonde beauty used to sell postcards of herself for $5, $10 if autographed, large posters for $25, and $35 with a signature. For $45, you could get a large poster signed and adorned with an “authentic lip print.”
A mini-series about the “Billboard Queen” was released earlier this year starring Emmy Rossum as the titular character. The series shows the “famous-for-being-famous influencer culture,” which Angelyne started. Angelyne, however, wasn’t happy with the series and said she was working on a movie about her life herself.
According to Celebtiry Net Worth, Angelyne has a net worth of $500,000.

In some countries, this kind of morbid humour might not have gone down so well.
Thankfully, however, this was Ireland.
A clip of the prank was posted to Reddit under the title: “Irish man leaves funny recording for his funeral!”
It certainly lived up to the billing.
The man who decided to prank his family for one last time was Shay Bradley, a Dublin granddad of eight
“Shay was a prankster, always thought outside the box and wanted to leave his family laughing,” the man’s wife explained. “He was a larger than life character and sadly missed by anyone who knew him,” she concluded.
“Hello?” the man can heard asking before a knocking sound is heard.
“Let me out,” he continues, much to the amusement of those in attendance. him.
“Where the f*** am I.
“Let me out it’s f***ing dark in here.
“Is that that priest I can hear.”
Mourners in attendance can be seen falling bout in fits of laughter before the cameraman pans to the casket where the sound is coming from.

“What a beautiful idea to keep people happy,” one Reddit user said.
“Laughter does help a lot when dealing with grief,” another concurred.
A 92-year-old man wanted to withdraw some money from the local Bank of America, but his ID was expired and the teller told him he couldn’t help him. The elderly man was upset and then the bank managers called the police and told them to take the man out of the premises.
It was officer Robert Josett who answered the call about the man who was reportedly causing a scene.

As the man didn’t have any proper identification, the bank was unable to process his request to withdraw his money. However, he didn’t understand why the teller was refusing to help him. As a result, the elderly man grew upset and caused a commotion.
When Officer Josett learned what was going on, he decided to do something unconventional.

Not wanting the elderly gentleman to leave the place without his money, Officer Josett offered him a lift to the DMV where he got a new ID. After that, he took the man back to the Bank of America so that he could proceed with the withdrawal.
This act of kindness didn’t go unnoticed. Someone at the bank learned what the officer did, and soon after, the story reached the Montebello Police Department, who shared it on Facebook along with some photos.

“This Officer is a Saint!” commented one person on the police department’s Facebook post. “All this Little Grampa wants is to keep his independence. And the officer helped him in a dignified manner. Good Job Officer!”
“Heart touching and I love that the officer was able to get him in and out of the DMV so quickly!” joked another. “That alone is medal worthy!”

“This is beautiful,” wrote someone else. “We need more stories like this to show the people that not all police officers are bad and that they go above and behind their regular duties to help everyone.”
“We often hear only bad news of officers, we can’t judge everyone the same,” agreed another. “Officer Robert Josett thank you so much for helping this elderly man, it could have been my father or grandfather. God Bless you….and thank you for your service.”
Anyone with an elderly parent or grandparent can likely relate to the situation this old man found himself in. At 92-years-old, you’re simply not as sharp as you used to be, so something like an expired ID can really throw you off, especially when it’s preventing you from accessing your own money.
This old man only needed to be shown some kindness and a bit of patience. Officer Josett showed him both and turned out to be his guardian angel. The people of Montebello, California, are certainly lucky to have such a compassionate officer protecting them.

Most people would go great lengths to enhance their appearance, that is the reason why plastic surgeries become a common practice everywhere in the world.
Sadly, these procedures aren’t always successful and leave permanent damage and deformation of the face. Such was the case with the famous reality star Elsa Patton, best known for her appearance in the show “The Real Housewives of Miami.” She was part of the show for two years, between 2011 and 2013, but it was more than enough for her to reach a celebrity status. It was her one-liners and her lively personality that made her a beloved character.

At the same time, she underwent a number of procedures which left her unrecognizable to the extent that a plastic surgeon in Tampa, Florida, called it out and said there was “no worse case” of plastic surgery going wrong than Elsa Patton.
What we know of Elsa Patton before her appearance in the show is not much. Ancestry.com reported that she was born in Cuba on August 25, 1936. She was married to husband Donald Patton for over five decades before his passing in 2018, over a year before Elsa died too.
“Mama Elsa” and Donald had two children together, daughter Marysol Patton, who was part of “The Real Housewives of Miami” together with her mother and later on was part of the reboot, and son Thomas Anthony Jones.

Speaking of her mother, Marysol told Reality Tea: “Growing up my mother always had so many people that always wanted to be around her; a lot of celebrities, a lot of very important people always wanted to be friends with my mother.
“Everyone was always fascinated by her so this doesn’t seem any different than how it’s always been.”
Marysol added, “It’s a little different when we go out together on the streets because strangers are coming up to us or staring or pointing or taking pictures, so that’s a little a different. But she enjoys it very much.”
In 2012, Elsa was given her spin-off show, Havana Elsa, which followed her journey towards starting her coffee chain. “I love Cuban coffee… and now I’m going to have a coffee of my own, that is gonna be wonderful, it’s gonna be to my taste, and on top of that I’m gonna make me money,” she said at the time, as reported by Huffington Post.
When it came to her plastic surgeries, it was evident she had many, although she never really spoke openly about it. She referred to her surgeon as of “the man who ruined my face.” Her daughter, Maryson, however, revealed more information about Elsa’s surgeries and said that her mom had her eyelids done during the 80’s, which left her with hematomas on her eyes for nearly three years.

Facial Plastic Surgeon Benjamin C. Stong of the Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, Georgia, said that it’s “almost hard to even imagine” what she looked like before her surgeries. Another expert, double-board certified surgeon Dr. Farrior in Tampa, Florida, described Elsa’s face condition as a “tragedy” in judgment, ethics, and technique.
“Chances are that she did not do it to herself but was able to convince someone to do it to her. That is where it should have stopped,” Dr. Farrior wrote, adding that the surgeon in question had the responsibility to refuse further surgery.
“The real mistake was the choice she made for a provider because they did not say NO,” he added.

In 2013, mere days before they were about to start shooting season three of the reality show, Elsa suffered a stroke and was rushed to the hospital. As months and years passed by, her health deteriorated and she passed away on May 13, 2019, after “a long illness.” Elsa was 84 at the time of her passing.
Marysol honored her mother when she married her husband Steve McNamara, president of a Florida construction company, in 2021. Her Mayan wedding ceremony was performed by a shaman. “It was the basis of her mom’s spiritual-religious roots,” a source told Page Six. “She felt her mom’s influence guided her to have this kind of ceremony — Elsa is still in charge!”

The Real Housewives franchise creator and executive producer Andy Cohen made a touching tribute to Elsa on his show Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. “Throughout the history of the Real Housewives, we have met many friends and relatives of the wives, but rarely has someone’s spirit, humor, and wisdom made such an indelible impression as Elsa’s did,” Cohen said.
We will never forget “Mama Elsa” and her wonderful personality. May she rest in peace.

What started as an attempted carjacking turned into a tragedy when one of the suspects who tried to steal a car from a mother and son was shot.
Louise Ornduff and her son Kalaeb, from Clearwater, Florida, were contacted by a potential buyer of their car. They arranged to meet at the parking lot of Bank of America not knowing they were going to fall victims of a robbery.
The two men who pretended to be there to buy the vehicle, 18-year-old Lasupta Singletary and 17-year-old Jernaen Dreshaw Coleman, were armed with guns and demanded the keys to the 2016 Hyundai Veloster that Kalaeb Ornduff.
Not wanting to put his life in danger, Kalaeb did what he was told, after which the two carjackers fled the scene. But just as they drove away, Louise fired a shot, hitting Singletary.
Unfortunately, the shot was a deadly one. Coleman realized his friend was shot but he didn’t stop the car. Instead, he drove to the nearest hospital and dropped off Singletary, who was pronounced dead.
As police started an investigation, they realized that the killed young man and his friend were involved in the carjacking that took place at the parking lot.
Although authorities were aware that it was Ornduff who fired the shot, it was Coleman who faced second-degree felony murder and armed robbery charges. Prosecutors can pursue a felony murder charge against a co-conspirator in Florida when someone dies during the commission of a crime.
As for the 36-year-old mother, it wasn’t clear whether she would face any charges. Deputy Chief Eric Gandy said that “It’s important to determine whether the threat existed when the shot was fired.”
Denis DeVlaming, a former prosecutor said Louise is in big problems. According to him, if she had shot the fire during the robbery, she would be justified, but she loses that ability in case the perpetrators are fleeing.
There were those who stood by Louise’s side and justified her decision to fire a shot, with one person writing: “She was right in what she did and had to, I would have done the same thing had I been in her shoes, and the police and courts should back her up and not take the defense of these criminals, help the police clean up the streets against crime,” but there were also those who believed she shouldn’t have used her weapon when she saw the carjackers driving away.

Country music singer, songwriter, and actor Toby Keith revealed on Sunday that he has started treatment for stomach cancer. According to his post, he was diagnosed with the illness in the fall of 2021.
During the last six months, the multi-platinum-selling artist has been receiving chemo treatments and radiations and has undergone a surgery.
“Last fall, I was diagnosed with stomach cancer,” the country icon, 60, said on social media. “I’ve spent the last 6 months receiving chemo, radiation and surgery. So far, so good. I need time to breathe, recover, and relax.”
He was scheduled to perform on Friday at the BBQ festival but his performance was cancelled as the Ribfest’s website says the festival is “actively seeking a replacement for Toby Keith to join Elle King on Friday, June 17. Instructions for refund requests will be available in the future.”
The musician added that he’s “looking forward to spending this time with my family. But I will see the fans sooner than later. I can’t wait.”
Many of Keith’s fellow country singers shared their well wishes and prayers.
“Damn bro,” Jason Aldean wrote. “Hate ur dealing with that, but if anybody can kick Cancer’s ass, it’s you. Prayin for ya big man.” “Praying for a full healing in your body!!” RaeLynn added.

Keith’s publicist, Elaine Schock, said in an email Sunday night that some tour dates will be canceled, “but I’m not sure how many at this point.”
We are certain he will win this battle.

With the British Royal family being one of the most famous families in the world, it’s not a surprise the media is eager to carefully follow their every move. One thing we love about them are the beautiful photos they share.
This year, the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge treated the public with one very special photo from their personal collection for Christmas. As always, the couple, along with their three children, look amazing.
“Delighted to share a new image of the family, which features on this year’s Christmas card,” the couple wrote on their Instagram account.
The place where the photo was taken is Jordan. When she was still very young, Kate used to live there for around two years when her father worked for British Airways. As for Prince William, this wasn’t the first time for him to visit Jordan either. Back in 2018, he visited the country as part of his tour of The Middle East.
Over 2 million people reacted to the photo. A lot of the comments were related to how fast the children grew up. Many couldn’t help but spot the resemblance between Princess Charlotte and her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, at Charlote’s age. Some even posted photos of the two side by side.
Royal fans go wild over Princess Charlotte’s resemblance to Queen https://t.co/nOuOBC394f via @Femail How grown up does Charlotte look, she’s just like her gan gan,
Recently, during the celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee more photos of the family emerged and what the ones of the little Princess show is that she truly is a spitting image of her great-grandma. On May 2, the family shared a photo of Charlotte to wish her a happy seventh birthday.

However, despite the looks and the fact that they are both part of one of the most powerful, influential, and popular families there are, the way The Queen was brought up has little to do with what Charlotte’s life looks like. When she was her great-granddaughter’s age, Queen Elizabeth was home schooled, while the sweet Princess attends Thomas’s Battersea, an independent mixed school in London, the same school her older brother George attends.
In 1910, when the Girl Guide Association was formed, both The Queen’s mother and the Queen herself became part of it, so the Queen, although she didn’t attend a formal school, got to hang out with girls her age. Charlotte, on the other hand, has a lot girls and boys friends at school.
One thing is certain, the little Princess inherited the best from each of the members of her family. For one, she definitely has her mom’s sense of fashion and looks extremely cute on each of the photographs The Palace shares.
Back in April 2019, the Black Sabbath icon, Ozzy Osbourne, was forced to postpone the remaining tour dates following spine and neck surgery after he suffered a dangerous fall in his home in Los Angeles. Sadly, this aggravated the old injuries he sustained from his 2003 ATV accident that nearly ended his life.
2020 was the year when the musician was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease.
“There was a point I was convinced that I was dying,” the rocker told the Daily Mail in August 2020. “I was in that much discomfort and pain and misery. I thought [my family] were all hiding it from me.”
Following the second fall and the surgeries that followed, Osbourne’s wife, Sharon Osbourne, the host of the UK’s The Talk, spoke of her husband’s health and expressed hopefulness that he would be able to perform again.
Sadly, later on, Osbourne went through a life-threatening staph infection in his thumb and contracted COVID-19 earlier this year. “I am very worried about Ozzy right now. We’ve gone two years without him catching Covid, and it’s just Ozzy’s luck he would get it now,” Sharon said while updating his fans on his condition.
Osbourne, who is 73, opened up about his health and said things turned for the worse after he reached 70. “F**k me, when I became 70, I had the f*****g thumb thing. It has been one nightmare after another.”
A few days ago, Sharon once again updated her husband’s fans of his health and revealed he will be going through a major surgery that will likely “determine the rest of his life,” but didn’t share any details.
Of course, this news left many worried for the musician’s condition and life and the family received outpouring support. As a result, the 69-year-old TV personality took her time to thank everyone for their good wishes and wrote on Instagram: “Our family would like to express so much gratitude for the overwhelming amount of love and support leading up to Ozzy’s surgery!
Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have been married since 1982 and share children Aimee Osbourne, Kelly Osbourne and Jack Osbourne. This year, they are about to celebrate 40 years of marriage. Asked whether they would celebrate the milestone anniversary, Sharon said: “I don’t know yet.” The proud wife will be leaving her gig as host of the UK’s The Talk so that she can remain in Los Angeles with her husband during this critical time in his life.
We hope and pray that everything will turn out for the best for the “Prince of Darkness.”

Leaving Britain and settling in the States didn’t necessarily mean getting the chance for a quieter life for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry whose names always find their way to the headlines of many magazines.
The couple tied the knot back in 2018 and their relationship has been closely followed by the media from the moment they announced they were dating. Today, The Sussexes have two children together, son Archie, and daughter Lilibet Diana, named after both her grandma and great-grandma.
The media, however, came with some interesting information regarding the couple. It turned out that the royal and his Californian-born other half are actually a little bit related, except for being spouses.

It might be slightly complicated to explain the family relation between Meghan and Prince Harry, but according to Metro, the two are fifteenth cousins and their family tree dates back to 1480. The couple’s common ancestor is Ralph Bowes, a High Sheriff of County Durham in England in the 15th century. This man’s granddaughter, Bridget, married John Hussey and their grandson Christopher Hussey moved to the US as a settler in 1632. Christopher was an ancestor of Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas Markle, a renowned television lighting director and director of photography.
Ralph Bowes had another grandchild, George Bowes.
He was a relative of Elizabeth Bowes Lyon who married George VI and went on to become the Queen Mother, the mother of Queen Elizabeth.
Daily News
Although they appear to be cousins, they are not closely related, so this fact of sharing a common ancestor doesn’t really affect their relationship in any way.
Ever since leaving Britain, Meghan has only seen her husband’s family during the recent celebration of Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.

With the extreme scarcity of food in many parts of the world, it’s not surprising that a recent TikTok video enraged a number of people. An employee at the fast-food chicken joint Chick-fil-A, whose identity hasn’t been confirmed, posted a video showing how the fast-food chain throws perfectly good chicken in the trash as the place is about to call the day quits. Apparently, this happens every day.
Many people who have seen the video say that the food could be instead given to the homeless who struggle to find anything to eat.
“What they do every night with the chicken nuggets at Chick-fil-A,” wrote the anonymous employee.
So far, the fast-food chain hasn’t come forward with a comment as the video spread on the social media site like a wildfire. A lot of people say that what the store does with their leftover food is at odds with their Christian values.
So far, the video has been seen over 7.8 million times.
Many took their time to share their thoughts, with one person writing: “The amount of food we throw away and the amount of starving people there are just doesn’t sit right with me.”
“Can confirm,” an employee commented. “We used to throw out SO much chicken…”
“Give them out for free, wtf,” someone added.
One person asked, “Why not give it to the homeless?”
Some of the comments are: “Give them out for free. What the hell.”
“Jesus would not approve.”
“They think God is okay with this?”
“Wait, I thought that at the end of the shift, the employees get to take the leftovers home.”
“They should just let the employees take it home,” one person suggested.
Others, on the other hand, say that getting rid of the food which wasn’t sold that day is what restaurants are simply required to do.
“Chicken that sits too long cannot be given out to the homeless hours later. It will get them sick. It’s not a doughnut,” one person stated.
“It is illegal to give food to the homeless in foodservice. Any food leftover goes to the employees or the trash.”
“I just got my food handlers test. They’re doing it right.”
However, some said that there was no chance for the chicken that was thrown to be cold as Chick-fil-A is quite a busy place and they cook fresh chicken all the time.
“All of you are saying it goes bad. It was made shortly before closing. You guys think they make them in the morning and just keep them hot?”
What do you think of this? Should they give the leftovers to those in need instead of throwing that much food in the trash?

That day was everything but ordinary for a Memphis KFC worker who received a note by a customer which probably helped save her life.
The worker noticed the pair at the restaurant, but nothing spoke trouble until the woman gathered courage to secretly slip the note to the worker. The woman wrote that the man she was with was abusive and held her against her will.
The worker then called the police and told them about the note. Luckily, the man, who was later identified as 23-year-old Diego Glay, was arrested. When police arrived at the scene and approached Glay and his girlfriend, he disobeyed the officers’ instructions and fled the place but was caught after a short chase.
After authorities interviewed the woman, she explained that her boyfriend was armed with a handgun and held her against her will by using verbal threats and beatings. She recalled that when she tried to leave him, he punched her in the face. He also took her phone and wouldn’t return it so that she couldn’t call her family and friends or the police.
According to the authorities and the affidavit, the couple had been living in “cheap random hotels around the city.”
The suspect, Glay, was taken to the Shelby County jail, where he remains in custody. The judge set his bail at $35,000.
He is expected to appear in front of a judge for a preliminary hearing on June 1, according to court records.
Had it not been for the KFC worker, this woman’s life could still be in danger.
